I thought it was only while they were running, it was the reason there was limited bad press for trump (this is why I recall it, but again this could all be a fever dream) as he stated he was running for prez VERY early so that his camp had to sign off on opinion pieces and other things, havent had a chance to look it up and see where I got it from yet.
